The best of the rest of the action from day three in Birmingham.
There was lots of sporting action to celebrate on day three at Birmingham 2022, with medals won in the Artistic Gymnastics, Weightlifting, Triathlon and Para Triathlon, Cycling, Rugby Sevens and Swimming.
Here, we round up the best of the rest:
BADMINTON
England stormed into the mixed team quarter-finals with a dominant 3-0 win over Canada.
Marcus Ellis and Lauren Smith set the ball rolling with mixed doubles victory, before Toby Penty won his singles and Ben Lane and Sean Vendy triumphed in the men's doubles.
Smith praised their mentality to bounce back from defeat to Singapore on Saturday.
"Yesterday we didn’t play the conditions of the arena very well," Smith said.
"It’s really slow out there and we played a slow, safe game when actually you almost need to be really bold and extra aggressive, and faster in the legs when it’s like this.
“Today we went out with a fresh mindset. We let yesterday slip out of our mind and said, ‘today we’ve got a job to do, let’s go out there and do it’. We really stamped our authority."
England will face Malaysia in the semi-finals on Monday, with India taking on Singapore.
